Él se va al restaurante.
whats the point of 'se' in this sentence? why not just: 'Él va al restaurante.'
Bisade, "se" is used because the verb is reflexive. Duolingo is technically incorrect. It should be He leaves for the restaurant--with the implied meaning that he is in one place headed for another place. IR (to go) changes meaning when used as a reflexive verb. IRSE = to leave. Think of these two English sentences: I am going to the restaurant tomorrow. I am leaving for the restaurant from my office. The first would use IR; the latter would use IRSE.
